If you are dining out tonight, start with how you will eat: alone, as takeout, or sharing at a table. Then pick the flavor you want. The dinner picker below gives you one dish to look for, a backup, and a practical menu check.
Use the dinner picker or jump to four ready-to-order starting points.

See the dish guideRule out hard constraints first. Check budget, time and dietary requirements against the restaurant's current menu. For an allergy, ask staff about ingredients and cross-contact; a dish name or this picker cannot verify safety.
Match the dish to the dinner. A broth or freshly grilled plate is strongest when you can eat it at the restaurant. For a long ride home, favor a dish that can be packed well and ask for crisp toppings or sauces separately. For a table of friends, check portions and order contrasting dishes rather than several versions of the same flavor.
Use one tie-breaker. If two dishes still sound equally good, choose the one whose main ingredient or texture you want more tonight. A familiar fallback is fine when a menu gives you too little information.

Start with how you are eating: on your own, as takeout or delivery, or sharing at a table. Then choose the flavor you want. This picker suggests a dish, a backup and one thing to check on the current menu.
No. It gives general editorial dish ideas using only the two choices you make here. It does not know your location, current restaurant menus, prices, hours or personal Palytt match score.
Ask the restaurant about ingredients and cross-contact before you order. A dish name and a general web picker cannot confirm whether a particular preparation is safe for you.
In the iPhone and iPad app, restaurant Order Guides show dish details where available. Your own verdicts and friends’ ratings can add context when present. The web dinner picker is separate from those guides.
